You gotta believe!

A few days back, one of the major gaming sites (ouch, I can’t remember which one) had a day when you could download the actual music files from the old school game called Parappa the Rapper – released i the mid 90:s. It’s a rhythm game, where you had to follow along and try to “rap” with the music style of your teachers in the game in order to progress.

I loved this game, and played it incessantly, so the music is thoroughly stuck in my head. It was probably the first time when I was better at a video game than my husband, which is also another reason why I liked it so much, I think! I vividly remember playing it with my husband and my brother-in-law at his apartment in Washington, D.C. when we came visiting around the time the game came out.

The songs bring back so many memories, so I thought I would post my two favorites here. Hm, I can still recite a lot of the lyrics from memory!

“Kick, punch, it’s all in the mind
If you want to test me, I’m sure you’ll find
The things I’ll teach ya, is sure to beat ya
Nevertheless, you’ll get a lesson from teacher now
Kick, punch!”Parappa the Rapper – Chop Chop Master Onion

“I’m working in the flea market so early
I’ve been working here since my mama was a baby
Just because the rhythm is slow, that don’t mean that you can’t flow
In the rain or in the snow (in the rain or in the snow), got the got the funky flow…”
“I could sell a bottle cap like this”
“The skunk over here will bring you luck”Parappa the Rapper – Prince Fleaswallow’s rap
